This is another vanity I will replacing with granite. I’m not familiar with the material and how to remove it. Here is a pic –

It looks yellow in color. I banged one of the splashes with a hammer. It eventually broke and some clear pieces came off. Those pieces look and feel like plastic and did not feel very sharp. The material is not shattering is I expected.

Any suggestions how to demolish it

It appears to be cultured marble which is a mix of resins and a cementitious material.

Sorry to hear that Mark. That kind of event is usually on the local news - although I don't always follow the local news. Was it the one where the plane went into the ocean after takeoff. That's the only recent Palomar related accident that comes to mind - that plus the Citation crash carrying some business people.

I fly out of Montgomery - if you know SD you probably know where that is.

No he was in an Air King and ended up on the golf course after losing power and hitting power lines. Another engineer friend of mine has put his down three times in 50-years and walked away each time. He has finally given up his license.

As for Montgomery Field, a bunch of us here on the site just stayed at the Sheraton which is just South of the air field while attending a Ridgid event.

Do you mean King Air. If so I believe those are twin engine turbo-props. He lost power to both engines at the same time? That's rare.

Yes it was a King Air which he had only owned for a short period although he had been flying out of that airport for years. We were told he had a mechanic with him because of an on going problem, I don't know what the final report was but here is a link:

I have two sons who fly helicopters. One is stationed on a platform in the Gulf and the other is ex-Apache pilot but now is a primary attack helicopter observer/trainer at the Iraqi National Training Center. In addition, a young man who spent some time growing up in our home is a V-22 Osprey Instructor. Every time there is an accident my wife starts making calls.

Don't know how I missed that one - it seems like it is almost one year ago that this happened. I've flown as a passenger in a King Air (doing some ground to air testing of some wireless equipment I had designed) and they are nice planes.
